CroatiaThe article reports on a court trial involving former officials from Rijeka, including Obersnel, Barać, Škunca, and Košćina, who are accused of abuse of position and power. The charges stem from allegations that Obersnel, as head of the city administration, and Barać, through his company Victoria, secured land for construction at the expense of the city’s financial interests. Škunca and Košćina are accused of assisting in this abuse. All defendants deny the accusations, with Barać stating he acted in accordance with legal procedures and that no harm was done to the city. The case involves claims of damages totaling over 176,000 euros, with the city acting as the complainant. The trial continues with evidence presentation and document review.
Bias read (Center): The article presents the charges against the officials without overtly favoring any side. It includes statements from all defendants denying the allegations and provides factual descriptions of the accusations. There is no clear ideological leaning in the framing of the story, which remains balanced
